    Test NTLM permissions to successfully crawl a site collection

    This is only applicable to Sharepoint on-premise deployments.

    To verify the NTLM account has appropriate permissions to crawl a site collection using the SharePoint V2 connector:

    1. Copy the check-ntlm-account-can-crawl-sharepoint-site-collection.ps1 PowerShell script below to a folder on your computer.

    $site_col_url="https://your.sharepoint-site.com/sites/mysitecol"

    1. Change the value in the first line: $site_col_url="https://your.sharepoint-site.com/sites/mysitecol" to the URL of your site collection.

    2. Execute the script. If the result is:

      • A JSON output of your site’s metadata, the account permissions are set correctly.

      • An error such as a 403, 401, or other error, the account permissions are not set correctly. Set permissions correctly and run the script again to verify it executes successfully.

    maxPerRoute - number

    Defines a connection limit per one HTTP route. In simple cases you can understand this as a per target host limit. Under the hood things are a bit more interesting: HttpClient maintains a couple of HttpRoute objects, which represent a chain of hosts each, like proxy1 -> proxy2 -> targetHost. Connections are pooled on per-route basis. In simple cases, when you're using default route-building mechanism and provide no proxy suport, your routes are likely to include target host only, so per-route connection pool limit effectively becomes per-host limit.

    ignoreSSLValidationExceptions - boolean

    Do not attempt to do an SSL Handshake and do not verify the hostname of SSL certificates. Use this when accessing an https url with a self-signed or enterprise certificate authority that you do not want to put in the Java keystore.

    debug - Debug options

    Special properties used for debugging the connector.

    onlyFetchAcls - boolean

    Do a full crawl where we only crawl acls. Also - when the ACLs are all fully indexed, clear any old ACL documents from previous crawl(s) for this datasource. This gives you a fresh SharePoint ACLs without effecting the content.

    Default: false

    logThreadDumpEveryNSeconds - number

    For diagnostic purposes, write a thread dump to logs every N seconds. If set <= 0, no dump is taken.

    simulate429ErrorsEveryNRequests - number

    If > 0, simulate a SharePoint 429 status (too-many-requests) error such that there will be one error per this many requests.

    preserveFullExportDb - boolean

    The list* tables are normally cleared prior to saving the crawl database. This gives option to leave these files for analysis. This parameter is ignored if using a persistent volume to store the crawl DB because the data will always be saved in that case.

    Default: false

    onlyFetchMetadata - boolean

    For diagnostic purposes, do a dry run where the connector will only generate the metadata sharepoint export database and index the ACL records in the ACL collection, but will not fetch content.

    Default: false

    logAclInserts - boolean

    For diagnostic purposes, log all documents inserted into the ACL collection.

    Default: false

    security - 

    collectionId - string

    Id of the collection to be used for storing ACL records. If not specified, ACL collection name will be generated automatically using pattern '<datasource_id>_access_control_hierarchy'.
